The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario is selling an 18-minute video that describes its disciplinary process. The college notes that a disciplinary hearing can be an intimidating experience for physicians and complainants and says its video demystifies the process and provides insight into the roles of the prosecution and defence lawyers. It features the testimony of witnesses, the physician and the complainant. In the sample case, a physician was charged with professional misconduct following the death of a patient. The video costs $10; information is available from the college by fax, 416 961-8035.
